Dealing with plagiarism

What is plagiarism?

A student thesis that has been demonstrably copied in whole or in part verbatim or almost verbatim from one or more papers of others and is nevertheless passed off as one's own achievement is plagiarism. In this sense, plagiarism also occurs if the text was translated into a language other than that of the original when the text was adopted.

If plagiarism is detected

How to proceed in the event of suspicion of plagiarism is specified in the General Study and Examination Regulations for Bachelor's and Master's Degree Programs (ASPO) and the General Study and Examination Regulations for Teacher Training Programs (LASPO) of the University of Würzburg. You can read the corresponding § 26 and § 29 in ASPO and LASPO here: ZILS Study and Examination Regulations
The regulations stipulate that if plagiarism is detected, the examination performance must be graded as 'insufficient' (grade 5.0).
